It's much easier and also cheaper to find bad coders and non-developers
than code people. The outcome is bad performance and lots of security
issues.
And as to why Facebook chose PHP...
*When* did 'Facebook' choose it? (My brief search did not reveal this.)
Facebook started as a quick hack (Facemash) by student Mark Zuckerberg
in Nov 2003. If he used PHP (1995) then or for his next site or for the
initial Facebook a few months later, that would suggest an answer.
